I took one apart a month ago, there are 3 tubes each attached to an aluminum housing. There are some circuit boards, guessing low grade, and a bunch of wire. You will also get some steel framework. There is a large mirror, plastic and wood also. The bulk of the TV is just air, on the one I got the entire top section was empty, except for a large mirror. The tubs project the image to the mirror and the mirror directs it to the screen. I sold the mirror for $25 on Craigslist to a lady that makes crafts.
When taking the tubes off of the aluminum housings, be careful, they are filled with oil and its easy to get it all over yourself. There is a drain screw to drain the oil out first.
I would do another one if I had the chance, its fun to tear apart and quite a bit of goodies in there.
As for moving it, get yourself a hand cart. Use it to get it to your truck and then use the tailgate as a pivot to lift it into the bed.
